EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and eye-catching poster from the 1980s captures the essence of travel in a truly unique way. Produced by British Rail (BR) to promote their Railair Link services, this print showcases the seamless connection between rail and air travel. The focal point of the artwork is a stylized pink and mauve aeroplane, depicted in a frontal view that exudes elegance and modernity. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece has skillfully blended bold colors with clean lines, creating an image that immediately grabs attention. The juxtaposition of the sleek aeroplane against a background reminiscent of Reading, Berkshire's picturesque landscapes adds depth to the composition. This poster serves as a reminder of how BR revolutionized transportation by offering convenient rail services to London's airports via Reading. It symbolizes not only efficiency but also adventure, inviting viewers to embark on exciting journeys beyond their everyday surroundings. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print stands as a testament to both artistic talent and innovative marketing strategies employed by British Railways during its heyday. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time when air travel was still seen as glamorous and trains were at the forefront of intercity connections. Let this piece ignite your wanderlust and inspire you to explore new horizons – whether it be through railways or aviation – for there is always something thrilling about embarking on a journey towards new destinations.
